Amazing feat, but of course takes forever to generate an image (in the Readme states 11 hours)

Yep. I'll never need or use this implementation, but the tricks used will make it to other tools, which will be great.

It'd be interesting to see what the cost and power equivilence would be compared to a higher end method. I.e the time, cost (including all hardware required) and power taken to generate 100 images using 100 individual Pi Zero 2's (doesnt even need to be a W) vs something like an average mid-tier PC.

I'd assume the pc would still likely win.

Something like a Pi 4 or 5 may be a better benchmark than the Zero 2 as I get the impression its been used more for the challenge than practicality.

A GPU can produce an image in about 1 second.

That depends on the GPU, I'm not talking mid-high end (e.g RTX level), just your average 'basic' GPU.

On a raspberry Pi. Zero 2.
